CRETAN  STONE 


FTER  a  long  period  of  research  and 
of  scientific  experimentation,  the 
manufacturer  of  Cretan  Stone  has 
succeeded  in  producing  a  synthetic 
article  which,  in  its  durability, 
texture,  beauty  and  finish,  is  in 
every  way  the  equal  of  the  popu¬ 
lar  Grecian,  Roman  and  other  natural  stones. 

The  manufacturing  process  permits  of  the  reproduc¬ 
tion  of  the  most  intricate  ornamentation  of  design, 
while  its  homogeneous  structure  allows  chiseling  and 
tooling  of  the  finest  character,  even  though  the  quality 
of  the  binder  used  renders  it  as  hard  as  any  natural  stone. 
The  texture  lends  itself  readily  to  antique  or  other  finishes. 

Its  specific  gravity  is  about  equal  to  that  of  limestone 
or  marble,  but  because  of  its  average  thickness  of  one 
and  one  half  inches,  reinforced,  it  has  the  great  advan¬ 
tage  of  lesser  weight,  which  is  an  important  point  in 
handling,  shipment  or  installation. 

On  orders  for  special  designs,  Cretan  Stone  can  be 
produced  in  a  comparatively  short  time  after  approval 
of  models,  obviating  the  delay  incident  to  the  selection 
and  quarrying  of  natural  stone. 


A  glance  at  the  accompanying  photographs  indicates 
clearly  its  decorative  and  artistic  possibilities  in  mantels, 
but  it  may  be  specified  for  other  interior  work,  such  as 
door  and  window  trim,  cornice,  wainscoting,  pedestals, 
fountains,  etc. 

The  base  of  Cretan  Stone  is  crushed  marble,  assem¬ 
bled,  after  a  special  formula,  into  a  solid  mass  by  a  durable 
chemical  binder,  and  is  free  from  Portland  cement  and 
plaster  of  Paris;  this  creates  an  incomparable  product, 
the  preponderance  of  marble  insuring  utmost  endurance 
and  permanence. 

Many  of  the  mantels  shown  are  replicas  of  antiques 
selected  from  importations  and  authentic  models,  and 
others  are  from  the  designs  of  prominent  American 
architects.
